There's no terribly easy way to do this now. It's a limitation in the existing BibTeX styles. You can put a URL in the url field, and many styles will print it, but probably not how you want. But if you load hyperref, you should get it as a clickable link. BibLaTeX will handle this much better.

This depends upon your class. Probably you'll have to modify the \chapter command in your class file, though there may be a class option. rh Frederick Noronha wrote: > Can someone please tell me how to delete the rule that every chapter > (in a book) needs to start only on a right hand side page
